Central Georgia High School Football Roundup: Warner Robins stuns Northside in comeback win

Here's a look at the scores and highlights from around Central Georgia.

MACON, Ga. — The third week of Football Friday Night is in the books. The third week offered up some big upsets, a couple of nail-biters, and one of the best rivalries in high school sports. 

Here is a look at a roundup of scores and highlights from around Central Georgia:

Game Of the Week

Warner Robins 39, Northside 35

The Demons were on the ropes as the Eagles led big heading into the second half. But Jones County transfer Judd Anderson came into the game and delivered in a big way. He threw for over 175 yards and a pair of scores, leading the Demons to a second-half comeback for the ages and etching himself in the history books of this historic rivalry just days after getting to the school. Perhaps we underrated the potential impact in our weekly roundtable, as he looked poised in the second half and should get a chance to win the starting job following the comeback.

Three Stars

Warner Robins coaching staff: It takes some guts to insert a player who has only been with the team for a handful of days into one of the year's biggest games. Anderson has shown that he is a competent quarterback during his stint at Jones County and is heading to Miami for a reason. But the belief in him paid big and immediate dividends for the Demons.

Northeast: The Raiders upset the number 1 team in the AA classification with a 27-20 win over Fitzgerald. They bounced back from the loss to Mary Persons in the opener by putting together one of the biggest wins in program history. This team is legit, and they proved on Friday night that they have what it takes to win a state title. Oh, and running back Nick Woodford found a new way to get into the endzone as he contributed a passing touchdown. 

Chase Dupree, Southwest QB: The kid has an absolute cannon for an arm. He has the potential to be something special, as he is just a sophomore. His dad, Joe Dupree, was a good quarterback back in his day at Southwest, and now he gets to coach his son for his alma mater. Dad has a lot to be proud of with that impressive performance on Friday night.
